Re: Battery Not Charging?

[tmharding]

Hi,

I have tried this without joy :(

Any other suggestions? 

If not can anyone recommend a good apple service centre?

Try resetting the power manager. I can't recall how to do this but you will
find instructions in the Apple Knowledge Base article ID 14449. I'll try
sending it to you.

Re: Help - Sick SE 30!

[Paul]

OK, it's a long way from the new G5s I know, but my faithful old SE30
seems to be at deaths door. When it's switched on, the screen shows 
up

a
whole bunch of horizontal stripes - and nothing else. I can hear the
hard disk clicking away, so I don't think the disk has died. Anybody
have any ideas???



Your description of the screen reminds me of a drama I had with a 
6100/66 with bad RAM.

Fixed it with apple-brand RAM.

Good Luck
Paul

Battery Not Charging?

[tmharding]

Hi,

Something strange has happened to my g3 powerbook.

My yoyo powersupply stopped working tonight and when I got my 
spare out (I have now managed to go through 2 bricks and 2 
yoyos) I noticed that the battery wasn't charging.

No problem - fast forward an hour an it still isn't charging. I have 
reseated the battery and restarted the computer and no joy.

It has also been in the shop recently to have the hinges replaced 
(this probably has no link at all)

Anyone have any suggestions as I don't want to leave it hooked 
up to mains in this weather.

Help?.please?

Re: USB flash drives

[Keith Palmer, Zytech]

Hi Meg

If you can't format them under OS X then they don't comply with the USB 
standard or they are faulty.


I know SanDisk had many problems with their units and ABSOLUTELY avoid 
the cheapie Chinese Flash Drives like the plague  your Guru drive 
sounds suspiciously Chinese.


Our units are made in Taiwan and I think we've had a total 3 pieces 
returned out of about about 2,800 sold and not a single one hasn't been 
able to be formatted on a Mac.


Obviously your Flash Drive will work in cross platform mode but the 
data transfer speed on a Mac is seriously compromised.

Just got another USB flash drive thingo - it's a pretty cheap nasty

"Guru" and I'm having some problems with both it and my old one (which 
is a slightly

nicer brand - "usbdrive" - under OS X.

In short - I can't format them in Mac Standard or Extended format. 
When I try (using
Disk Utility), it fails to mount them and they remain unmountable 
unless I reformat

them (DOS format) on a Windows box.

I used the old one in OS 9, formatted it fine etc. But OS X seems to 
have a problem

with them.

Are there any special drivers I can download for these? The disc the 
new one came

with only had Windows software, the old one came with nothing.

Cheers,
